From Google Translate:
Thank you for your reply.
I know the difference between timeframes; I’ve been trading for 25 years, 20 of them with the EUR/USD pair. I haven't been using your platform for long, though—it is very powerful, certainly, but nothing works easily or on the first try.
As I said, I tried every possible method before asking for help. After successfully loading intraday data going back to 2007 and daily data to 1980—which seems to be the maximum data available for the Euro/Dollar—and saving my workspace, the platform reverts to its default state upon reopening. All the loaded data disappears, and it goes back to the usual view:
I can only see the last 20 days of the chart, and the earliest day drops off as the latest day advances; today, the 25th, I only see back to the 5th; tomorrow, the 26th, I’ll only see back to the 6th.

How do I fix this? I want to apply the maximum available historical timeframe to any chart currently in my workspace or any I might open in the future.
Please explain it as if I were a 10-year-old. Thanks.

Also, as I mentioned in my previous message, when I finally managed to load the historical data onto some of my charts before it disappeared:

a) It didn't automatically load onto the other charts by default—I need this to happen automatically. In other words, if I’ve loaded a 6-day chart with data going back to 1980, I want to see data back to 1980 on my pre-configured 12-day chart as well, or on any other daily chart I might open later.
b) When I switched timeframes on a daily or intraday chart that *did* have historical data loaded—using the quick timeframe switcher on the control bar—the chart would "think" for a while before finally loading the historical view. That loading time isn't compatible with a feature designed for quick timeframe switching.

How do I resolve issues (a) and (b) so that all my charts work properly?

Many thanks.


What you are stating should not be occurring. Once you have the proper amount of data loaded for a chart, then that chart should continue to show that same amount of data.

As time goes on, the amount of data in the chart will increase until there is a reload, or a restart of the system. In this case, the number of days will revert back to the amount that is set for the chart. For instance, if you have a chart set to load 20 days, and you keep the program open for 5 days, then you will end up with 25 days. If you then restart, that chart will go back to only showing 20 days.

For an intraday chart in which you are having an issue, what are the following settings in "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting" set to:
- Date Range in File From
- Load Data Limiting Method
- Days to Load for Intraday Chart Data Type


a) We answered this previously. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Save Days to Load, Intraday Bar Period, Graph Draw Type as Default (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Chart Data menu)

b) Changing the timeframe will cause the data to be reloaded. It has to be in order to recalculate the new time frame bars. But, this should not be long. Are you seeing a long time for this change? How long is it taking?
